This project was inspired by Reddit karma. Main Features in this Package ----------------------------- [](#main-features-in-this-package) This package will provide you with 2 table migrations which will create a votes table (dd\_votes) and a voter table (dd\_voters). You will also be given access to two traits: *Votable* -> Adds upvoting and downvoting functionality to a votable object such as a blog post, comment, photos, or anything else with a user\_id representing an owner. *CanVote* -> To be applied to your User model. Adds additional functionality to your user which lets them manage their ability to vote and provides a votable score (calculated from votes others have casted on their votable objects). You can also access the two models Vote and Voter. A config file *vote.php* will be published to your config directory. Installation ------------ [](#installation) Via Composer ``` $ composer require daydevelops/vote $ php artisan vendor:publish $ php artisan migrate ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) ### Apply the Votable Trait [](#apply-the-votable-trait) Suppose we have a blog and users can create comments. If we want to allow users to upvote and downvote comments, we simply add the Votable trait. ``` ... use Daydevelops\Vote\Traits\Votable; class Comment extends Model { use Votable; ... } ``` ### Apply the CanVote Trait [](#apply-the-canvote-trait) The CanVote trait should be applied to your User model. ``` ... use Daydevelops\Vote\Traits\CanVote; class User extends Model { use CanVote; ... } ``` ### Available Methods/Properties on the Votable Object [](#available-methodsproperties-on-the-votable-object) **Authenticated User Casts a Vote** ``` $this->vote($type); // $type should be "up" or "down" ``` **Authenticated User Casts an Upvote** ``` $this->upVote(); // alias of $this->vote('up'); ``` **Authenticated User Casts a Downvote** ``` $this->downVote(); // alias of $this->vote('down'); ``` **Authenticated User Removes a Vote** ``` $this->unVote(); ``` **Has the Authenticated User Voted on this Object?** ``` $this->hasVoted(); ``` **Has the Authenticated User Upvoted this Object?** ``` $this->hasUpVoted(); ``` **Has the Authenticated User Downvoted this Object?** ``` $this->hasDownVoted(); ``` **Get a Collection of all the Votes on this Object** ``` $this->votes(); // hasMany relationship ``` **Get the Total Score of all Votes Casted on this Object** ``` $this->score; ``` ### Available Methods/Properties on the CanVote (User) Object [](#available-methodsproperties-on-the-canvote-user-object) **Does this User have a Voter Record?** ``` $this->isVoter(); ``` **Get the Voter Object for this User** ``` $this->voter; // returns hasOne relationship to Daydevelops\Vote\Models\Voter ``` **Make a Voter Record for this user** ``` $this->makeVoter($change); // optional signed int $change is added to the default voter weight (see config/vote.php) upon creation ``` **Get the Users Score Calculated from Votes Casted by other Users** ``` $this->votable_score; ``` ### Available Methods/Properties on the Voter Model [](#available-methodsproperties-on-the-voter-model) where `$voter = $user->voter;`: **Change the Weight of the Voters FUTURE Votes** ``` $voter->addWeight($change); // signed int $change is added to the users current vote weight. ``` **Can the Voter Vote on an Object?** ``` $voter->canVote($votable_item); ``` **Is the Voter Banned from Voting?** ``` $voter->isBanned(); ``` **Ban or Unban the Voter** ``` $voter->ban(); $voter->unban(); ``` Events ------ [](#events) **Daydevelops\\Vote\\Events\\ItemUpVoted** -> Fired when a votable object is upvoted **Daydevelops\\Vote\\Events\\ItemDownVoted** -> Fired when a votable object is udownvoted **Daydevelops\\Vote\\Events\\VoterWeightChanged** -> Fired when a voters vote weight is updated Tests ----- [](#tests) For further clarification on any of the features of this package, take a look at the tests or reach out to the maintainer of the package.
